Creamy Kale Pasta Sauce is Sneakily Healthy

This kale pasta sauce tricked Darrol Henry into eating some veggies during a picky toddler phase. And I’m not sorry!

Of course, you don’t have to be a picky toddler to enjoy this creamy, sneakily healthy kale pasta sauce. You also don’t have to necessarily use kale as the base. Any dark leafy green would work well, so go with what’s in season or what’s in your fridge.

Toddlers are no joke, y’all. Everyone warned me that toddlers go through phases of very picky eating, and Darrol has been no exception. He has thankfully started eating more variety again, but there were about 3-4 weeks where he would only eat pasta and bread. I never thought that I’d be the mom hiding veggies in her kid’s food, but that is exactly what this kale pasta cream sauce is about.

Darrol’s picky eating phase was blissfully short, but I’m sure he will go through another one. I’m keeping this kale pasta recipe in my pocket for next time he decides that all green things belong on the floor.
